Full Description
15 June 1935. Banks seen by R. R. Clarke (NCM) by sunset.
Visited by R. R. Clarke 17 June 1935.
Natural sandy eminence with two parallel north to south low banks. From rabbit scrapings came a few sherds of grey unglazed medieval pottery.
Possibly medieval house site. See NCM card
On map the banks are drawn as having bulges towards their south ends.
Site now difficult to locate: Clarke's drawing on NCM old six inch map is exaggerated as it covers two large hills with a valley between.
Field under pasture. Possible traces of a bank on the eastern hill.
